• Spread: With its bushy and vigorous growth habit, this rose can spread to about 2 to 3 feet (approximately 60 to 90 centimeters).

Cultivation and Maintenance

Planting:

• Select a sunny spot: Rosa Grandpa Dickson flourishes in a location that receives ample sunlight, ideally around 6 to 8 hours per day.
• Well-draining soil: Ensure the soil is fertile, well-draining, and rich in organic matter to promote healthy root development and growth.
• Planting depth: When planting container-grown roses, place the graft union (the swollen area where the stems meet the roots) at soil level or slightly below.
• Proper spacing: Provide enough space between each rose bush to allow adequate airflow and to avoid overcrowding.

Watering:

• Regular watering: During the growing season, maintain consistent watering, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist without waterlogging the roots.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots from extreme temperatures.

Pruning:

• Annual pruning: Conduct pruning during late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches and shape the rose to maintain its desired form.
• Deadheading: Promote continuous blooming by regularly removing faded flowers.

Fertilizing:

• Balanced feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and again in mid-summer to provide essential nutrients for robust growth and abundant blooms.

Pest and Disease Control:

• Vigilance is key: Regularly inspect the rose bushes for any signs of pests such as aphids, thrips, or caterpillars, and take appropriate measures if an infestation is detected.
• Disease prevention: To prevent common rose diseases like black spot and powdery mildew, ensure good air circulation around the plants, water at the base, and avoid overhead watering.
